The compounds of the invention can also be applied to polyester textile materials by the heat fixation technique described in US. Pat. 2,663,612 and in the American Dye-Stuff Reporter, 42, 1 (1953). The following procedure describes how the azo compounds of the invention can be applied to polyester materials by the heat fixation technique.

EXAMPLE 207 A mixture of the compound of Example 35, 150 mg. of a sodium lignosulfonate dispersing agent (Marasperse N), 150 mg. of a partially desulfonated sodium lignosulfonate (Marasperse CB), 0.5 ml. glycerin, and 1.0 ml. of water is ground in a microsize container (an accessory for a l-quart size Szegvari Attritor) for approximately 3.5 hours. Enough As-inch stainless steel balls are added to provide maximum grinding. When the grinding is complete, the entire contents are poured into a beaker and 100 ml. of water are used to wash the remaining dye paste from the micro-container. The dye paste is then heated slowly to 65 C. with continuous stirring.

A thickener and penetrating mixture is prepared by mixing:

1 ml. of complex diaryl sulfonate surfactant (Compound 8-8),

3 ml. of a 3% solution of a sodium Nmethyl-N-oleoyltaurate (Igepon T-Sl),

8 ml. of a solution of natural gums (Superclear SON), and sufficient water to bring the volume to 100 ml. The thickener and penetrating mixture is added to the dye paste, the volume is adjusted to 200 ml. and the mixture is agitated for 15 minutes. The dye mixture is then filtered through folded cheesecloth to remove the stainless steel balls and it then is added to the reservoir of a Butterworth padder where it is heated to about 60 C.

10 g. of a fabric of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers and 10 g. of a fabric of 65/35 spun poly(ethylene terephthalate)/cotton fibers are sewn together, end-to-end, and padded for 5 minutes of continuous cycling through the dye mixture and between three rubber squeeze rollers of the padder. Dye mixture pickup is about based on the weight of the fabrics.

The padded fabrics are then dried at 200 F. and then heat-fixed for 2 minutes at 415 F. in a forced air oven. The dyed fabrics are scoured for 20 minutes at 70 C. in a solution containing 0.2% sodium hydrosulfite, 0.2% sodium carbonate and 1.7% of a 3% solution of sodium N-methyl-N-oleoyltaurate and then dried. The dyed fabrics possess excellent brightness and fastness to light and sublimination when tested according to the procedures described in the 1966 edition of the Technical Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists.

The heat fixation dyeing procedure described above can be varied by the substitution of other dispersing agents, surfactants, suspending agents, thickeners, etc. The temperature and time of the heat-fixation step can also be varied.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) polyester fibers are described, for example, in US. Pat. 2,465,319. The polymeric linear polyester materials disclosed in US. Pats. 2,945,010, 2,957,745, and 2,989,363, for example, can be dyed. The linear aromatic polyester materials specifically named have a melting point of at least 200 C. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers which are dyed with the compounds of the invention are manufactured from a melt of a polymer having an inherent viscosity of at least 0.35 and preferably, about 0.6. The inherent viscosity of the poly(1,4- cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) polymer is also at least 0.35. These inherent viscosities are measured at 25 C. using 0.25 g. polymer per ml. of a solvent consisting of 60% phenol and 40% tetrachloroethane. The polyester fabrics, yarns, fibers and filaments that are dyed with the novel azo compounds can also contain minor amounts of other additives such as brighteners, pigments, delusterants, inhibitors, stabilizers, etc. Although the compounds of the invention are particularly suitable for dyeing polyester textile materials, the compounds can also be used to dye other synthetic, hydrophobic textile materials such as cellulose acetate, modified polypropylene, polyamide, or modacrylic fibers.
